Description:
In today's homes, porches and sunrooms offer indoor comfort with all the beauty and charm of nature and the outdoors. A porch or sunroom is a place where we can relax and enjoy all the pleasures of being outdoors without the nuisances of extreme temperatures, rain, or pests.

And no longer are porches and sunrooms purely seasonal spaces suitable for use only on pleasant, mild evenings in certain seasons. New technology in patio doors, skylights, windows, solarium systems, and heating and cooling systems means that today's sunroom or porch is a four-season space. They are just as energy efficient as any other room in the house, and for this reason it's common today for a porch or sunroom to serve as a home office, as a family room, as a regular dining area, or even as a bedroom.

IdeaWise Porches & Sunrooms will show readers how to plan a sunroom or four-season porch that best suits a family's needs, and also how to furnish and decorate that space for maximum enjoyment and usefulness. It also includes dozens of ideas for making this special space truly unique.

Description: Born out of the heritage of structures first imagined by and constructed for the British aristocracy, the contemporary conservatory represents the ultimate in traditional elegance married to informal comfort. With or without plants and flowers, they come in every conceivable size and shape-square, oblong, octagonal, or whatever your pleasure. The conservatory adds a treasured space to any home and makes a strong statement of individual style. The conservatories surveyed here play a rich architectural role through the use of classic detailing or sophisticated modern materials. Some are based on graceful Victorian antecedents while others are modernist sculptures of glass and steel. The evocative photographs in the book survey the spectrum of styles and interior design-everything from a Zen-inspired glass perch where the landscape outside becomes the room to a casual lounging area enclosed by a virtual jungle canopy. Specific chapters focus on decorating and accessorizing and demystify difficult decisions (color schemes, floor materials, and controlling natural light). Recent advances in weatherproofing, glass engineering, flooring, lighting, and zoned heating and cooling are covered. Also included is an A-to-Z glossary of recommended plants plus a directory of manufacturers and suppliers.
